<body class='hmmessage'>When I delete a recording its appears to happen instantly and the file appears to be gone, but the free space recovers extremely slowly (viewed by console command df), like a few mega byte per second is free'd. I am running ubunutu 7.10, nothing else is installed but ubuntu and mythtv and nvidia drivers for my video card.<BR>

This is causing me some problems because sometimes when I record, it must think there is not enough free space and over-writes something I want to keep, even though I just deleted 10's of gigabytes of recordings. Am I missing some sort of system setting here that forces some sort of commit write back to disk or something?<BR><br /><hr />Check our comprehensive Salary Centre <a href='http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent%2Emycareer%2Ecom%2Eau%2Fsalary%2Dcentre%3Fs%5Fcid%3D595810&_t=766724125&_r=Hotmail_Email_Tagline_MyCareer_Oct07&_m=EXT' target='_new'>Overpaid or Underpaid?</a></body>
